When have I ever said I hated Rockstar Games? I just dislike the fact they didn’t port it to PC and release it alongside the console versions. Pretty sure I’m not the only one. I just don’t want to encourage this behavior. And if I can contribute to a change of their policy in a way, however small, I will do so.
I still look forward playing it. Just not as much as I did in September. I managed waiting till now, what’s another, (e.g.) 6 months?

Mon, 20 Jan 2014 18:58:49 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=441478#comment-580403@13 Actually… while I might agree with you in most cases (already owning it on xbox is why I adamantly refused to buy Castle Crashers again when it came out on steam, no matter how low they price it in a sale and no matter how much I love the game. I just hate the concept of paying again for something I already own.), in this case I absolutely would get it again, for cash money even. That’s how good the game is. That’s how much I love it.

There are always exceptions to the rule. I own the first two Alien and Predator films on VHS, DVD and Blu Ray, because I love them that much, but I would never re-purchase any of my other already-owned DVDs on Blu-ray. But there are exceptions, and GTAV is very much Alien for me. I would absolutely buy that game again, and love playing it again. And with its surprisingly good multiplayer, it will thrive on PC. Not to mention all the other goodness that comes from that platform. (self-stustaining community, mods, streaming etc, etc.)

So, yeah. Bring it on.

Also, it seems like your comment is massively weighted with a lot of cutting off your nose to spite your face. You seem to hate Rockstar for entirely personal reasons. Which, honestly, is daft. They’re a large-scale company who produces entertainment products, not a bully who has a personal vendetta against you. You either enjoy what they produce or you don’t. No need to make it so personal.

And, again, honestly, anyone who misses out on GTAV only to spite Rockstar is A) proving and achieving absolutely nothing and B) missing out on one of the most enjoyable, entertaining, spectacularly realised gaming experiences of recent years. If you don’t like open world games, fair enough. If you don’t like bombastically violent games, fair enough. If you don’t like strong language, fair enough. But if you’re avoiding it just to stick it to the man, you’re missing the point of gaming, fun and life itself.

Mon, 20 Jan 2014 16:01:21 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=441478#comment-580292Hmm… I might have gotten it at release, but now it’s just way too late. If they down-prioritize my platform of choice, then I’ll down-prioritize buying their product. Thank you very much!

And I think the people who got it on console won’t be buying it on PC (not first thing, anyway (if that’s what they were counting on)) as they’re more likely to just pirate the game, instead. I mean, they’ve already paid full price for it once and might not be too keen on doing it again. Unless, of course, they’re interested in playing GTA Online on PC, assuming it gets ported, i.e. Perhaps this was their intention? My hypothesis might be wrong, though.

And me personally? I will maybe buy GTA V during a sale, 50% or more. The hype has been over for months. A lot other developers are so much more deserving of my time and money.

Considering that is pure profit on top of all the rest of the profit, then, yeah… money to be made.

Mon, 20 Jan 2014 07:49:12 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=441478#comment-580027@2, 4. Indeed, it’s always the same. The even more ridiculous part is that when it is eventually officially announced, those 659k petition signers will see it as some kind of victory, that they have somehow changed the face of gaming… meanwhile, Rockstar will chuckle to themselves all the way to the bank.

Which is not to belittle either Rockstar’s efforts or the game itself; it was easily my game of the year for 2013, and anyone who hasn’t played it on console should absolutely pick it up when the PC version lands. Just don’t kid yourself into thinking that the voice of the people somehow made it happen; It was, always has been and always will be the voice of the accountant.

Mon, 20 Jan 2014 06:18:54 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=441478#comment-580020I’m pretty sure, next-fen port is not coming, it’s just doesn’t make sense: install base is small, and with Playstation Now, you’ll can play GTAV on PS4 anyway…

Mon, 20 Jan 2014 02:38:05 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=441478#comment-580011Do people actually think for a second that this WON’T come to PC?

It’s the same story every version..”It’s not coming to PC”.. months later.. “Here’s the pc version.”
